Not going to buy a subscription only piece of software. And not going to buy her a $2,000 laptop to run Final Cut. I'm a Protools user. But Avid is pissing me off lately.

I’d encourage her, and keep a close watch, if she was my daughter. Nothing bad will happen if you/wife are involved. It could be great for her. You're deluding yourself. His daughter WILL be contacted by scum. He will not be able to 100% monitor her activity. |

Found out tonight that my (almost 11 year old) daughter has a YouTube channel and has been posting videos online for about a month now. She has been making video with her cell phone camera for several months now and she's been asking me if she can post them on YouTube. Apparently she figured out how to do it herself. They are mostly short 5 to 10 minute long skits using her My Little Ponies or Littlest Pet Shop toys, or reviews of the new toys that she has bought, and a couple of cat videos. A few of them are pretty creative, she even used her mom and grandma's phones to shoot B and C-roll footage to use as a news broadcast in the main video. 
I know that she has been interested in making short movies for a while and has been asking me to get her a video editing program. She needs a new laptop to run it though. I guess I'll have to get on that. Not sure how I feel about this whole uploading stuff to YouTube without my permission though. 
And no, I'm not posting any links to her channel for you pervs.  The whole reviewing and posting on youtube thing has a huge following My 4 year old grandaughter loves to watch all the reviews Sounds like your daughter is doing OK. Just monitor her content and maybe advise if it doesn't meet your approval |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you didn't specifically tell her not to, she really didn't do anything wrong. As far as she would have known, the only think keeping her off youtube was not knowing how to upload. It's high time for a talk about persec, though. And it's time to start monitoring all her communications. Assume that some adult is going to target her, and just be there over her shoulder when he does. Point him out to her so she knows what she's dealing with and how to ferret them out. Warn her about other girls too. Teach her to lie and to break off communication abruptly. All her life she's been told to be honest and considerate of others feelings, now you need to undo all that so she can handle herself in this context. Excellent advice. The internet is not the real world and behavior needs to change accordingly. The adage about everyone on the internet being a dirty old man? It's TRUE. |

How much traffic to you generate just to make that few hundred bucks? I only ask because I am in a trade that would probably allow me to do instructional videos with regularity.

I only ask because I am in a trade that would probably allow me to do instructional videos with regularity. Aside from the advertising aspect of it for the business, I think people would be generally interested in a lot of it, especially for stuff like basic repairs. I posted this once in the thread already. I've got 124 subscribers and 580 something thousand views. Not a lot by anyone's standards. But the residual views (most of them seem to come from my videos showing up in other videos as related) still get me some pretty good traffic. Some of my videos have 5 or 10 views. Some have over 60,000. You never know what the hell you're gonna get on there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
In one video she used her grandmother's cell phone as the video insert/weather map for a news cast by her ponies. Then recorded the news cast on her mother's phone, and played it back while she recorded the main video with her own phone, as if the one on her mother's phone was a big screen TV being watched by other ponies. So there were, in fact 3 sets of video being used at the same time.  That's pretty resourceful.

When faced with a choice between encouraging my kid and holding her back, there is no other choice. Encourage your daughter. Yes, there are concerns and they will need to be addressed. Yes, eventually she'll end up with hurtful or creepy comments. Teach her how to remove the offending comments, block the creepy commenters, or simply block comments altogether - and that the people making these comments don't know her or have any idea what they're talking about. Be her biggest fan. You won't be sorry. |

Standard anti-phishing content is directly relevant if you can get her to think about it.

Yahoo email address for the company director. Not on linkedin, business name not registered anywhere, no domain name, no website. The real clincher? He offered to pay her travel expenses or carry out "online photo shoots". So - it's almost certainly just some perv that likes ankles and saw her facebook pics (on her public profile).

When we got her cell phone phone wee were worried about her talking and texting all the time. She spends most of her time using the video camera function. She uses her desk as a set for her video, and has improvised a mount for her cell phone, uses her mother's cell phone to play soundtrack music and make B-roll footage, and even uses her desk lamp as a lighting rig.

And no, I'm not posting any links to her channel for you pervs. Does she use Windows? If so, check out Sony Movie Studio: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope Easy to learn and does not require such a fast computer. I preferred it over Adobe's offering many years back. Nice for basic videos... might want to buy the options with fancy plug ins. Check Amazon. |
